I recently tought it would be nice to have a sample board of voices here at Freesound, in as many languages/moods/flavours as possible. If you have a recording device of some kind and you are willing to help you can contribute, no special requierements as regards sound quality (a small electret condenser mic, a tape recorder, MD, computer mic, anything would do)

In the first I say 'Sound must be free' , and in the second I read part of the leading paragraph in Freesound main page: The Freesound Project is a collaborative database of Creative Commons licensed sounds. Freesound focusses only on sound, not songs. You can translate and use these two sentences, or use any other of your choice as the content doesn't really matter, the idea is getting a sample of your language/voice.

Thank you so much for the compliment. I think this is a terrific idea, and I hope they can put all the samples in the same sample pack. It would even be interesting to hear the regional differences or accents making the same statement.

Dobroide, i ll like you to listen some sounds i made about "el sonido debe ser libre" (lunfardo, jeringoso) before i up load them, pitty they are WAV,. can not record mp3, is there a way to send them?Also, Fanny is working with some schoolmates n friends to record them in "cordobes, catamarqueño y jujeño" y por mi lado con friends from several places of argentina about "Mapuche, uechua,lunfardo..."

I listened to it, lovely. My congratulations to her for these super-cool 's' (much like my own S Spanish ones BTW, ha ha). And the resonant vowels (freesOUnd, sOngs) are great too, people don't miss this voice! And.. well... the recording is excellent also, Corsica, but that's no surprise

By chance I have just discovered a radio station in Barcelona broadcasting in a number of Asian languages (urdu, benghali, tibetan...) Asked them for a few samples for Freesound, but in the mean time those interested can listen to it here: http://www.pakcelona.com/index2.php
